Bible in Basic English
For her house is on the way down to death; her footsteps go down to the shades:
Those who go to her do not come back again; their feet do not keep in the ways of life:
So that you may go in the way of good men, and keep in the footsteps of the upright.
For the upright will be living in the land, and the good will have it for their heritage.
But sinners will be cut off from the land, and those whose acts are false will be uprooted.
— Proverbs 2:18-1964, Bible in Basic English
“For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life. That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous. For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it. ”
“For her house inclineth unto death, And her paths unto the dead; None that go unto her return again, Neither do they attain unto the paths of life: That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, And keep the paths of the righteous. For the upright shall dwell in the land, And the perfect shall remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the land, And the treacherous shall be rooted out of it. ”
“for her house leads down to death, her paths to the dead. None who go to her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life: that you may walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous. For the upright will dwell in the land. The perfect will remain in it. But the wicked will be cut off from the land. The treacherous will be rooted out of it.”
“For she has set her house by death, and her paths by the place of the departed spirits. None who go in to her will return, nor will they reach the paths of life. So you will walk in the way of good people, and will keep on the paths of the righteous. For the upright will reside in the land, and those with integrity will remain in it, but the wicked will be removed from the land, and the treacherous will be torn away from it.”
“And hath forgotten the covenant of her God: for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths to hell. None that go in unto her, shall return again, neither shall they take hold of the paths of life. That thou mayst walk in a good way: and mayst keep the paths of the just. For they that are upright, shall dwell in the earth; and the simple shall continue in it. But the wicked shall be destroyed from the earth: and they that do unjustly, shall be taken away from it. ”

Whose ways are not straight, and whose footsteps are turned to evil:
To take you out of the power of the strange woman, who says smooth words with her tongue;
Who is false to the husband of her early years, and does not keep the agreement of her God in mind:
For her house is on the way down to death; her footsteps go down to the shades:
Those who go to her do not come back again; their feet do not keep in the ways of life:
So that you may go in the way of good men, and keep in the footsteps of the upright.
For the upright will be living in the land, and the good will have it for their heritage.
But sinners will be cut off from the land, and those whose acts are false will be uprooted.
